Shaquille Leonard's Preseason Player Analysis
Nicholas Morrow (abdomen) out vs. Giants
Eagles LB Nicholas Morrow (abdomen) is inactive for today's game against the Giants. That leaves Philly down its top two LBs, with Zach Cunningham already ruled out. Expect Shaquille Leonard to lead the position in playing time. Undrafted rookie Ben VanSumeren looks like the next guy up. He has yet to play a snap on defense this season, though, so shouldn't be in anyone's IDP plans. Leonard makes for a solid LB3-level play.
Colts downgrade Zaire Franklin (knee) to doubtful vs. Carolina
The Colts have downgraded LB Zaire Franklin to doubtful for Sunday's game against the Panthers for the knee injury that kept him out of practice all week. That should leave Shaquille Leonard and E.J. Speed as the top two LBs for Indy in this game. Check our Week 9 LB rankings to see how high each has risen.
Colts rule out Shaquille Leonard, Kwity Paye
The Colts have ruled LB Shaquille Leonard (groin) and Edge Kwity Paye (concussion) out for Sunday's game against the Titans. Leonard has fallen way down our rest-of-season IDP rankings and is droppable in many leagues. Paye's absence comes as no surprise after concussion symptoms arose after Week 4. E.J. Speed has passed Leonard in regular playing time and becomes a more attractive option with Leonard out. Paye's absence leaves snaps for Samson Ebukam and Dayo Odeyingbo.
Shaquille Leonard in concussion protocol
Colts LB Shaquille Leonard is in the league concussion protocol after suffering the injury in joint practice with the Bears. It's the second documented concussion of Leonard's NFL career, following one he suffered last October. HC Shane Steichen told reporters over the weekend that he expects Leonard back "soon," so there doesn't seem to be any long-term concern here.
